All coordinates are given in the WGS 84 coordinate reference system.
WGS 84 is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS
satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).
Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth's surface. Coordinates are angular units.
The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″).
GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.
Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°;
the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N).
Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).
Longitude is counted from the prime meridian (IERS Reference Meridian
for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east
of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).
Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location's height. We are using the global digital elevation model
GTOPO30.
